About this Add-on

Bookmark mail folders in Thunderbird.

This extension adds an extra toolbar to Thunderbird. When you drag a mail folder to it, you get a fully customizable shortcut to that mail folder. This supports full drag and drop, like the corresponding folder in the folder tree - You can drag messages on it to move/copy them to the folder, and access the bookmarked folders through keyboard shortcuts.

This is handy when you have a large tree of folders for clients or projects, but use only a few of them at the same time.

The Category feature adds more usability by adding distinct areas to work in; this can make it easier to focus on a task that needs just a subset of the folders visible. There is also excellent integration with the Thunderbird tabbed interface provided since Tb version 3.

[Bug 26473] Added toolbar button to create subfolder (within the current folder). Includes option for simultaneously creating a QuickFolders Tab.

New Premium Feature: [Bug 26474] "Tab-Specific Properties ..." Add Option to apply mail settings to subfolders. With this the identity and To address header of new / replied emails created from a folder (and it's subfolders) can be modified.

[Bug 26470] Make QuickFolders compatible with the next Postbox build - 5.52 beta 6 (modern Gecko build) - as of beta 7, Postbox is following Mozilla Quantum in dropping 3rd party Addons support altogether: <quote> <p> Postbox is based on Mozilla code, and as of Firefox Quantum, Mozilla has discontinued support for add-ons. As such, a decision has been made to remove add-ons functionality from Postbox at this time.</p> <p> Postbox's Signatures and Responses add-ons have been rolled into the core product. Cloud File Sharing and installable Dictionaries will be supported in future BETA releases. </p> <p>Add-ons from 3rd parties will no longer operate in Postbox, but we may opt to roll certain 3rd party add-on functionality into Postbox in the future.</p> </quote>
